It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

This thread is the check-in for the 22 February 2010 and 1 March 2010 E-citals, by which our virtual community will pay our humble homage to a great man, a man of character, a man of imagination, a genius whose unique depth of artistry has left its indelible stamp not only upon our hearts but upon history. There will never be another Fryderyk Chopin, nor another 200th anniversary of his birth.

I would humbly ask that participants who see this please check in and verify their participation. Last-minute changes are an ineluctable fact of life; by posting this with some lead time we hope to maximize participation. Mary Rose and I will try to bump this thread regularly to ensure everyone sees it.

Hey Gerg, you dropped me! I think you misunderstood my last post. I didn't say I was backing out of performing the Fantaisie Impromptu. I was just sending out a call for backup in case I couldn't bring it up to performance tempo. So, you can put me back in as I am still working on it diligently, patiently, assiduously, relentlessly.

Oh, stop it! Your Barcarolle will bring down the house I have zero doubt. I know how hard you have worked this piece, to perfect every minute detail. I am truly excited by how your playing will be received by this audience. (No pressure now, Heidi! )

BTW we have 150GB of web storage; we've used MAYBE 1% of that with our past recitals.

LA: "There is not what is needed" or something along those lines. (Mati, I realize that I was an idiot when I was translating it as "I do not have what I need."

I recorded it yesterday as a draft, but I cannot seem to get over the cough that has beset me for weeks, and it isn't adequate. A lot of people here have been complaining that they've been coughing for 5 weeks or more, so I may be dealing with this for a while yet, and time's a wastin'. I'm getting a bit concerned.
